It's our last week before winter break! For our morning ELA and math work, we continued practicing some of the main concepts we've been exploring this semester. For math, we engaged in different games where we had to pair different representations of numbers together. For instance, students matched numbers with groups of objects, tally marks, dice, and more. We also designed our own monsters and counted the number of eyes each student added to theirs, and how many this made all together! In ELA, we've been practicing short vowel sounds and middle sounds of words. We made covers to our "vowel books" (the crafts we have been making about each vowel), and designed them with collages!

It was our first week back to school after two weeks remote, and our last week before another 2 week winter break...Wow! We spent our homeroom times this week creating different winter crafts: snow persons with cotton balls, polar bears with our hands, and snowflakes with painted hand prints! Students were excited to share their creations with each other...and to make their own crafts using the extra, left over materials!
This week the K's practiced subitizing numbers, or the ability to recognize the amount of different groups of objects. We practiced distinguishing different ways to represent numbers 1-10 while also practicing skills like cutting and gluing.
In our journey through remote learning, the Kindergartners have continued their daily ELA and letter practice! We have continued practicing letter sounds and our newest concept -- VOWELS! This week we used each day to focus on a new vowel. We practiced writing the vowel, sounding out the vowel, and thinking of words that have the vowel in them. Each day we turned a new vowel into a whole new creation! Our A's became monsters, our I's became insects, and our O's became oceans!
